Mt API (7132 m ) -Expedition
Mount Api (7132 m)
Location: Nepal, Asia
It is western Nepals highest mountain. The area is
remote and untouched. Very few tourists have visited the
region. This is the country beyond, a wild and extremely
beautiful mountain landscape full of eotic people, rapid
rivers and pristine forest. This area is a very remote
area with Virgin Nature, off beaten path, Mysterious
culture and panoramic mountains view of Nandadevi,
Rajramba, Api Himal, KappaChuli Peak and many more.
There is also a lake called kalidhunga, which is about 2
hrs by walking from base camp. This is one of the holy
lakes of this area.
Deep inthe heart of the Himalayas, nestled between the
sweltering indian subcontinent and the frozen plains of
the Tibetan plateau, Humla lies hdden in the far
northwest corner of Nepal. Shadows of the towering
Saipal range and sacred Takh and Changla Himals loom
ober this barren forgotten basin of he mighty Karnali
River. It is an are of extreme geographical conditions
with the elevation fluctuating etween 1524 m 7337 m,
and an approximate population of 45,000. the natives
still speak an arnhaic dialect of Tibetan and Nepali
languages. Summer in Humla is pleasant while the winer
is harsh and cold, leaving the region isolated and
mostly snowbound.

In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Day packs for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
